\section{Glossaries}
\label{ch:glossaries}

\ctanpackage{glossaries-extra} is an absolute unit of a package.
For this document, it is used with its back\-/end \ctanpackage{bib2gls}.
This Java tool comes with installations of TeXLive and MiKTeX.
You should already have it.
This \lcnamecref{ch:glossaries} is only a brief, opinionated overview.
For a more appropriate introduction, there is a suitable
\href{http://tug.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/glossaries/glossariesbegin.pdf}{Beginner's Guide},
written by the package author.
Before you jump further into the relevant, proper documentations (these are three: the
\ctanpackage{glossaries} base package, the comprehensive extension
\ctanpackage{glossaries-extra} and the helper tool \ctanpackage{bib2gls}), you might
want to give the beginner's guide a shot.

In a format similar to normal bibliographies, all glossary entries are now managed
using \texttt{*.bib} files.
